The Focus of Real and Wild Light Photography

Raised in Revelstoke B.C., Roger was exposed to the mountains at early age. His interests in mountaineering and photography grew simultaneously. "As I began to explore the mountains I saw a lot of areas and natural wonders that I wanted to capture on film. Climbing and skiing became the means to see the mountains and photograph them the way I wanted. "

In 1979 Roger started working for Canadian Mountain Holidays (CMH) in the Bugaboos. He developed an interest in the mountains, which later turned into a professional career. In 1986 he became a member of the Association of Canadian Mountain Guides, and has since become an Internationally Certified Mountain Guide. After 12 years of managing CMH's premier lodge "The Monashee's" Roger has since retired, and is now operating Battle Abbey a ski touring hut north of Golden B.C. with his partner Robson Gmoser. Throughout the rest of the year he can be found working on photography projects and guiding private clients.

Photography has long been a strong creative source for Roger, his images have been published in many magazines such as; Canadian Geographic, Beautiful BC, Ski Canada, Powder Magazine, Climbing, Rock And Ice, Couloir and Back Country. Some of the many books that his images have appeared in are; The Selkirks, The Bugaboos, Place Names in the Canadian Alps, Summits and Secrets, and Canadian Summits. Most of Roger's photography is documenting outdoor sports and mountain related subjects in Canada and the U.S. His photography and guiding have taken him to South America, Africa, New Zealand, Europe and Asia.
